The New Zealand outdoor community is mourning the sudden death of popular content creator Joel Yukich, whose catch-and-cook videos attracted more than 114,000 followers online.
Yukich, the creator behind the Blokes Can Cook Too Facebook page, died suddenly in the early hours of Tuesday morning at his home, his partner Alanna Hussey told Stuff.
The family is still waiting for the results of an autopsy.
“He was the most amazing partner, father and all-round good bugger and he’d do anything for anyone,” Hussey said.
